Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for combining atrial defibrillation treatment techniques include techniques for reducing the discomfort associated with defibrillation and/or reducing the defibrillation threshold. Techniques include timing the defibrillation shock to reduce discomfort based on a sensed signal, giving the shock relatively early during atrial fibrillation, therapeutic drugs, administering more than one shock in succession, pacing the heart before, after, or during the defibrillation shock or shocks, and placing the shock electrodes in locations that may reduce discomfort.
